The Boss429 today is about a 70-80K $ car.. The boss429 hp numbers when released was written as 400-500 depending on the options, purely for insurance reasons, and so they could sell the car. Actual hp numbers are estimated between 650-750hp.. this car was simply bad ass...but also barely streetable. Pretty much a racecar right off the showroom floor. I have a chevy, and I can't really think of anything off the top of my head that chevy made stock that could take this car. Mopar and their hemis are another story though...
